What are panic attacks?
A panic attack is an exaggeration of the body’s normal response to fear, stress or excitement. When faced with a situation seen as potentially threatening, the body automatically gears itself up for danger, by producing quantities of adrenalin for ‘fight or flight’. This would have prepared our cave-dwelling ancestors to fight or run away from danger, but it’s much less appropriate to the stresses we encounter today. Panic attacks are extremely frightening. They seem to come out of the blue and make people feel powerless, out of control, and as if they are about to die or go mad. Many people experience this problem, but many have also overcome it successfully with the help of hypnotherapy.
If you experience panic attacks over a period of time, you may develop a fear of fear itself. Because you have become hyper-aware of the sensations associated with fear, you tense up whenever anything at all reminds you of the original panic. This can include your own bodily sensations. So someone feeling hot, or with sweaty hands (perhaps because they are in a meeting in a warm room), may assume, automatically, that they are in for another panic attack. Anticipating this makes them tense up and produces the very panic response they feared.
There are a number of reasons why you might be having panic attacks, but stress and anxiety are the main culprits. Hypnotherapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety, stress, social anxiety and panic attacks.
This is a skills-based model for treating anxiety and so you will be learning and practicing deeply calming relaxation techniques, self-hypnosis and developing more helpful, realistic ways of thinking.
Personality traits
If you are always anxious, you are more likely to have panic attacks. Being over-critical and disapproving of yourself, and striving to conform to the expectations of others, is common in people who panic. You may have difficulties in expressing your own needs and asserting yourself.
